Maldrox Suspension is a combination antacid formulation containing Magaldrate (480 mg) and Simethicone (20 mg) per 5 ml. It is designed to provide rapid relief from acidity, heartburn, and digestive discomfort, while also reducing gas and bloating. This dual-action suspension is suitable for adults and children, offering symptomatic relief from common gastrointestinal complaints.

Magaldrate is a fast-acting antacid that neutralizes excess stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and gastritis. Simethicone, an anti-foaming agent, helps break down gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, alleviating bloating and flatulence. Together, these ingredients offer comprehensive gastrointestinal relief.

Mechanism of Action

Maldrox Suspension works through two complementary mechanisms:

• Magaldrate (Antacid):

  • Neutralizes excess gastric acid, increasing stomach pH and reducing acidity.

  • Provides rapid relief from heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach discomfort.

  • Forms a protective layer over the stomach lining, preventing irritation.

• Simethicone (Anti-foaming agent):

  • Reduces surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines.

  • Facilitates easy elimination of trapped gas, relieving bloating and flatulence.

  • Works locally in the gastrointestinal tract without systemic absorption.

This dual action ensures fast and effective relief from both acid-related discomfort and gas-related symptoms, improving overall digestive comfort.

Indications

Maldrox Suspension is indicated for:

• Heartburn, acid reflux, and gastritis associated with excess stomach acid.

• Indigestion and sour stomach causing discomfort or burning sensation.

• Bloating, flatulence, and abdominal fullness due to trapped gas.

• Functional dyspepsia and occasional stomach upset.

It can be used as short-term symptomatic relief for adults and children over 5 years, under medical supervision.

Dosage and Administration

• Adults: 5–10 ml after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Children above 5 years: 2.5–5 ml after meals and at bedtime.

• Shake the bottle well before use. Measure the dose with a calibrated measuring cup or spoon for accuracy.

• For best results, take after meals to neutralize postprandial acidity and relieve gas.

• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose without consulting a doctor.

Precautions

• Use caution in patients with kidney disease, as prolonged use of antacids may affect renal function.

• Patients with allergies to magnesium or other components should avoid use.

• Long-term or excessive use may alter electrolyte balance; consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

• Simethicone is generally safe and has minimal systemic effects.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this suspension under medical supervision.
